There is no spike. 60k/week (post holidays), and selling at the same rate as other devices - considering that the competition (Wii + 360) have been supply constrained in the last month:

There are plenty of PS3 units out there - if it would have sold say, 350k - 450k - *that* would be a spike.
Its still selling less than it was, say in November '07 in the US.
Its understandable why people are excited - its almost like the 360 outselling the PS3 in Japan.
Lets see if it can repeat two months running!
